Deadly Hopper Dropper 3 Fly Rigging | Guide Tips
Professional Guide Alyssa Halls shows us how she sets up a Hopper Dropper rig while fishing with Mark Melnyk in rivers near Sheridan Wyoming. Alyssa puts together a great system of three flies, each a unique pattern below the hopper, explaining in detail why this setup works so well. Both she and Mark use this three fly hopper/dropper rig to great effect on rainbow trout!

I noticed you use 3x on the last bug. do i also use 3x above the bottom bug? What length do you recommend?
Would you kindly let me know about the reel you used and the size of it please?
What accent is that? I’m guessing Wyoming from the location. You can tell just from watching her mouth that her words are all at the front of her palate, or whatever it’s called. Either way, I’ve definitely never heard one quite like that.
Anyway, I’ve yet to try even a double dropper! I do have a big chernobyl ant somewhere, so I guess I’ll have to try this out 🙂
Why would someone moron give this a thumbs down?
Hi Mark,
When the full length video originally came out from your trip, I noticed the guide had her own fly tying business and I was interested in her patterns. I tried to locate her website but it had been shutdown with a note they were moving elsewhere. Do you know if her flies are still available? Thanks in advance and it’s very cool to see such a knowledgeable female fly fishing guide. I wish my own daughter had shown the same interest because she’s good at everything!
That was a tremendous project you filmed. Please keep them coming! More segments on Stillwater would be welcome. Thank you!
Beautiful fish, all I can say is well done!
Tips like water depth, tippet size, length between flies, knots used and so on would be helpful. Just seems liked overproduced fluff.
It look like she put the first dropper about 30" below the hopper, and the second about 18" below the first. Is that correct? How deep was the water?
Have you ever tried the Tups indispensible dry fly. A proper dry fly from here in the UK.
Now thats real dry fly fishing!!! I’m not really as smug as this sounds!
Nice presentation Alyssa!
How did you tie on the droppers? Off the hook bend on the hopper and the crane fly nymph?
Good hopper👌 Low ride, low profile, but easy to watch. Simply GREAT😃✌️
From Japan, with respects.
Absolutely amazing thanks for sharing 👍
fly fishing is one fly and hook without a hitch,everything els is fishing with float.
Great fly tier too!!!
Great stuff thanks for sharing.
What a great guide
Which fly did they hit most often?
What fly rod weight were you guys using in this video?
What kind of knot do you use when you tie the lower flies?
Morale of the story, just use hopper droppers
